As meteorologists look at today’s setup it is looking promising that severe weather will develop.
The main bulk of the severe action will be in parts of Missouri, Arkansas, western Tennessee and Kentucky and northern Louisiana.
There is also the threat for severe weather in the southernmost sections of Illinois, and northernmost sections of Mississippi.
The biggest threats for today are wind and hail. Both on the strong/large side of the spectrum.
Looking at the latest 6z RAP here are some of the severe weather indicators we’re watching:
CAPE: >2,000 J/kg
Helicity (0-1km): 75 – 200
EHI (0-3km): 1 – 3.5
LCL Heights: 800m – 1500m
Lifted Index: -3 – -10
All of these point to the potential for damaging winds, large hail and possible tornadoes.
